Curated by the maniacal movie mavens from “Saturday Fright Special” (New Hampshire’s first home-grown horror-host TV show, seen on public access stations throughout New England), the evening will feature vintage 35mm horror trailers and other assorted film goodies, DVD giveaways, live appearances by “Saturday Fright Special” characters, and uniformed nurses in attendance should anyone pass out from fright. Come in costume and receive a scintillating surprise!

Tickets are $10.00 and will be available at the door or can be ordered online at:

The original one-sheet poster for â€œPhibesâ€ was a play on words of the :â€Love Storyâ€ tag line â€œLove means never having to say youâ€™re sorry.â€ The original Phibes line was: â€œLove means never having to say youâ€™re abominable.â€ A later version poster was a psychedelic style with the dumbed-down line: â€œLove means never having to say youâ€™re uglyâ€ and â€œPhibes rhymes with vibes.â€ Anyway, it is indeed a great, campy horror flick and used to be a great double feature midnight show coupled with â€œThe Return of Dr. Phibes.â€

We managed to get an original PHIBES “Love means never having to say youâ€™re ugly” one-sheet haning outside the theater to promote this event. I wonder what the usual art-house patrons must think, seeing that on their way into the theater’s usual highbrow fare…..?

A real “classy” horror film with style! The Tampa Theatre played this first-run and I remember the one-sheet on display: “Love means never having to say you’re ugly”. Seeing that tagline I knew we were in for a treat, and the film wasn’t gonna be your typical horror film. Would love to see it again on the big screen.
